Abstract:
These data high resolution oxygen and carbon stable isotope values from one Cucullaea valve collected on Seymour Island. The locality is within the Eocene La Meseta Formation. The sample was collected by Rodney M. Feldmann. Isotopic data were generated in the University of Michigan laboratory of K. C Lohmann using a digitized microsampler. ... Sixty-three carbonate samples were taken at approximately 150 micron spacing in the outer prismatic layer of the shell designated WP33 by Feldmann. The data appear to span three years of growth. The data have been used by Karen L. Bice in the evaluation of middle Eocene general circulation model experiments. This work was supported by the National Science Foundation through OPP collaborative Award 9909719 to R. Feldmann and K. Bice.
